The 220 Bay Pro is the latest model offered from Excel Boat Company, which has deep roots in Arkansas flooded-timber duck hunting. The company began with a need for tough, durable boats, and it has grown to be a premiere manufacturer of an affordable and tough line of aluminum boats targeting the unique needs of outdoor recreational enthusiasts.
Excel’s motto is “One weld at a time,” and their commitment to quality is readily evident.
The Bay Pro Series was designed with lots of input from fishermen. Two livewells is a start, and more than 31 cubic feet of lockable dry storage for rods, reels and tackle is a proper second step.
Large fore and aft fishing decks covered with Superliner have elbow room for fishing and offer secure footing. There is even a built-in pad for mounting your favorite trolling motor.
Comfort on the way to and from the fish is important, as well, and the Bay Pro has that in spades. This begins with the Bay Pro’s Excelleration Pad hull that provides performance, stability, handling and seaworthiness.
A leaning post with cushions and a foot rest keeps the operator comfortable, and there is a pair of flip-up jump seats for passengers. The deluxe center console has room for fishfinders and a GPS, while rod holders keep your favorite outfit ready for the first cast at a new spot.
A floor drain keeps feet dry.
Every Excel boat is built to exceed industry standards. All welds are all done by hand, and extra foam is injected under the floor, deck and into every crevice to ensure safety, strengthen the hull and deaden sound for a quiet ride and to avoid squeaky surprises while stalking within casting distance of a trophy fish.
The hull is further strengthened by longitudinal ribs running the full length of the hull, and heavy-duty gunwales are engineered to take a beating and hold up.
In other words, the Bay Pro 220 combines performance, functionality and craftsmanship that exudes fishability.
Attention to details means you’ll enjoy your hunting and fishing adventures in the Excel 220 Bay Pro.
